A move from a true captain. Mike Maignan, suspended for the trip to Lecce due to the red card he received at the end of Milan-Lazio, stayed physically close to the team for the match at Via del Mare. His journey was quite special, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.
The number 16 left on Saturday morning (while the players had already departed on Friday afternoon) on a flight with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Geoffrey Moncada.
In the evening in Salento, he watched from the stands with the management duo as Christian Pulisic’s comeback goal secured the win. He then boarded the bus to Brindisi to congratulate the team before flying back to Malpensa on a charter flight.
